Former Zimbabwe international striker Tendai Ndoro has died at the age of 40.
Ndoro, affectionately nicknamed “Fire” by fans, was found in his apartment in South Africa, according to local reports.
The forward began his professional career at Chicken Inn in Bulawayo, where his prolific scoring form caught the eye of South African clubs.
In 2013 he joined Mpumalanga Black Aces, before making his high-profile move to Orlando Pirates, where he quickly became a fan favourite in Soweto.
Ndoro also had spells abroad with Al-Faisaly in Saudi Arabia and Al-Orouba in Oman, while in South Africa he turned out for Ajax Cape Town and Highlands Park.
He represented the Zimbabwe Warriors at international level, featuring in several African Cup of Nations qualifiers and earning recognition as one of his country’s most talented strikers of his generation.
Tributes have already begun to pour in from former clubs, teammates and fans across the region, remembering Ndoro for his sharp finishing, flair, and charismatic presence on and off the pitch.
